Schematic illustration of the aqueous rechargeable lithium battery (ARLB) using the coated lithium metal as anode, LiMn 2 O 4 as cathode and 0.5 mol l -1 Li 2 SO 4 aqueous solution as electrolyte. Here we introduce a coating layer on lithium metal. The coated lithium metal is stable in aqueous electrolytes.

Much further out (Horizon 3) are efforts on Lithium-air batteries and other potential chemistries. One-third of the cost of an electric vehicle is the battery itself. We are focused on developing technologies that provide higher performance while reducing battery cell cost, and ultimately the cost of EVs.

Reducing the cost of electric drive systems from $30/kW to $8/kW. When these goals are met, the levelized cost of an all-electric vehicle with a 280-mile range will be comparable to that of an ICE vehicle of similar size. That would take a 55 kW system cost of $1,650 down to $440 and increase power density from 1.1 kW/kg to 1.4

Toyota has stepped up its research, development and production capacity of both NiMH and Li-ion batteries and will use these technologies where appropriate in its expanding focus on electrification of the automobile. Where the cost premium is low convenience is high and the benefits to the environment and the pocketbook are clear.
